PRESS RELEASE |
NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA EUROPE MOURN THE PASSING OFCHIEF CHUKWUEMEKA ODUMEGWU OJUKWU
News of the passing away in London of the Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, after a
protracted illness, was received with great sadness. All Nigerians in Diaspora in Europe mourn with the entire
Ojukwu family. In particular we commiserate with Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, Special Assistant to the President on
Diaspora Affairs.
It is worth noting that the history of Nigeria will be incomplete without mention of Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu. His immeasurable contributions to the making of the Nigerian Nation State remains indelible and shall, by
his passing, be cast in stone for generations yet unborn. By his passing Nigeria has indeed lost a national icon that
was admired in and out of the country. Chief Ojukwu was not only courageous and fearless but was a charismatic
leader as experienced by friends and foe, those who knew him personally and others that came to know him even
after the dark hours of the Nigerian Civil War.
We join his family and others in this period of mourning and pray the living God for his soul to rest in peace.
